Directions—(Q. 46–50) Read the followingpassage and select the correct answers from thequestions given below, on the basis of yourunderstanding of the passage.

Individuals have a wide, indeed, potentiallyinfinite range of interests; these are ranked in themost complicated manner .……… indeed, theranking is so complicated that individualsthemselves do not perceive what it is. Our interestin art, in food, in travel, in various social mattersbelongs to different ‘areas’ which we are rarelycalled to compare or contrast. Yet, if one wants toassess the power of an individual over another,one may have to take all these aspects intoconsideration. The comprehensive analysis ofpower thus makes us enter further and fartherfields. But in voting situations or in committeedecisions, on the contrary, problems are narroweddown, because a decision has to be made betweentwo or a small number of issues or candidates. Thegeneral preference process is, so to speak,operationalized into a choice mechanism which,

8 | UGC.NET.Pol. Sc. Solved Paper

however difficult it may be in many circum-stances, is nonetheless markedly simplified bycomparison with the theoretical choices whichmight be made. The proof of this drastic reductionof the ends is indeed given by the fact that manyfeel that voting decisions do not leave electorswith a ‘real’ choice, that candidates or parties aretoo similar to each other, for instance, or that theissues are not-clear cut enough. Be this as it may,that fact is that effective choice is constrained bythe process of decision itself.

There is also simplification at the level of themeans because of a number of rules which thedemocratic system of voting and of committeedecision-making imposes. The reason why it is notvery interesting to assess committee decision inthis way if, for instance, someone like ‘Stalindominates’ a committee is because Stalin wouldsimply set aside the rules and threaten committeemembers if these were not to support his views.But a ‘regular’ democratic committee is one wherea number of rules are scrupulously observed andwhere, in particular, great store is placed on rulesrelating to the ways in which issues are placed onthe agenda, debated and voted on. The votingrules (majority voting, for instance) are of coursethose which are most conspicuous in restrictingthe freedom of members to act in an ‘in egali-tarian’ manner, but the whole of the procedurealso contributes in ‘equalizing’ the general frame-work. It becomes therefore both interesting andpossible to analyse the effect of these rules on thedecision making process and specifically toexamine the ‘paradoxes’ inherent in such a systemas well as the ways in which one or more of themembers can maximize their own interests in thecontext of the system.

46. The individual seems to be unaware of hisinterests because—(A) of their wide range(B) of difficult choices(C) of illiteracy(D) off dictatorial regimes

47. In voting behaviour problems have becomesimple because—(A) of the very ‘process’ of decision-making

the voter is required to follow

(B) The theoretical issues are very limited(C) Voting has become mechanical(D) ‘ends’ are not important

48. Why is Stalin referred to ?

(A) Voting procedure is undemocratic(B) Ignoring rules and threatening opponents(C) Issues are limited(D) Candidates are few

49. Why are the voting rules undemocratic ?

(A) Because these give a lot of freedom tothe voters

(B) Because the choices of the voters are notrestricted

(C) Because these limit the freedom of thevoters to take pat in decision-making

(D) Because they fail to promote the interestsof the decision-makers

50. Which, among the following is important forassessing the power of an individual overanother ?

(A) All interests of the individual and someother fields or areas

(B) The individual’s consciousness about theranking of interests

(C) The individual is constrained by thechoice mechanism

(D) Voting situations and committee deci-sions have been totally changed
